Avocetta

Salento White Blend

Lu Spada Avocetta is a delightful white blend from the enchanting Salento region of Italy, showcasing a radiant golden hue that invites you in. This wine strikes a beautiful balance with its medium-bodied character, offering an appealing weight on the palate that is complemented by a vibrant acidity that adds freshness and brightness to each sip. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of citrus and stone fruits, creating an inviting profile that is both refreshing and satisfying. While the tannins are subtle, they provide just enough structure to enhance the overall complexity of the wine. With a dry finish, Lu Spada Avocetta is the perfect choice for any occasion, making it a splendid companion to seafood dishes or light salads.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
